Miso Extra Shares Last Single, ’50/50′ From Her Upcoming MSG EP

Trailblazing London-based, mixed heritage singer, rapper and producer MISCO EXTRA has today shared the final taste from her forthcoming MSG EP, ahead of its release on Friday (18th August) via Transgressive Records. With ’50/50′ she demonstrates a further foray into experimenting with wonky beats, restrained percussion and clever samples, all while singing/rapping in both Japanese and English. Talking about the single she says, “finding the balance in life is hard and I’m someone who is guilty of being stuck in drive. I wrote this song to remind me to not be too hard on myself and to try and enjoy the ride.”

The single is accompanied by an incredible animated video, directed by Taku Mikami, whom Miso discovered on Instagram through a Japan-based gallery she follows posting his work. In her words, “I fell in love with the moody color palettes and animation style. I took a chance and reached out to ask if he would be interested in working on a video. When they said yes and came back with a treatment it felt like a no brainer. Taku has beautifully managed to weave in so many different references to the lyrics into the visuals. I honestly think this video is amazing!”
